Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 308 Choose One Between Mom and Dad.

"Selena, I'm so disappointed in you! I regret having brought you home to foster you. I gave you one last chance just now but you still lied to me. Your feeling towards your brother has rendered you so bigoted. You seduced your own brother to have this child and now you come back, bringing the child with the disease, to harm our entire family. Get out tonight along with Dan. From now on you are not a member of the Holland family anymore!"

Selena had been blank since Miranda answered the question and rang off.

She had no idea why Miranda would lie on the phone and neither could she figure out the reason. She merely knew that her foster mother got utterly disappointed in her and even passed the outrage to Dan.

"Mom, Jason didn't answer it, Miranda did. I don't know why she lied, but that night, the accident happened because Eden revenged on my brother and me intentionally. Jennifer entered my brother's room some time after that. This case, Eden knew it, so did Jason, and later on, Robert. You can ask them. Besides, it's not Jason who answered the phone just now, so let's call him again. Mom, please, Dan is your grandson, so please let the marrow donation surgery finish. Then I'll leave with the child...."

After saying that, Selena thumped her head on the ground once and again. She was totally panic- stricken and didn't know how to react or how to explain.

With what she had said just now, her foster mother lost her trust in her completely.

"Selena, why should I trust you? I couldn't find even one excuse to believe you ... You like Jasper long before. Though you are not blood relatives, you grew up together. Unexpectedly, you turned the relationship between brother and sister into stubborn affection. I should drive you away then, but I merely warned you by indication, considering you deserved another chance. But what did you do in return? You seduced your brother onto the bed and then carried a baby before giving birth to him. And now, you come back with the sick child to continue to seduce your brother. You dare to charge Miranda

with lying. Why did she lie? She is Jason's fiancee now, and why did she offend her fiance for such a thing?

"What's more, you said Robert knew this matter, but he had lost his memory. How could he tell what happened last year? As to Eden, there's news claiming he had been missing. Among all the people aware of the truth, some disappeared, and some lost their memory. Regarding Jason, I know he is close to you, and if you talked to him in advance, he would lie for you. However, I caught you off guard, banning you from leaking any information so that you couldn't patch up your lie. Is that the case?"

Selena was already in a flood of tears. She couldn't figure out why things were going this way.

With just a phone call to Jason, the result rendered her more sinful, and her foster mother wouldn't trust her anymore.

"Mother, please, please let the surgery be completed. Dan is an innocent boy. I know I let you down and I shouldn't keep that feeling towards my brother. However, Dan is not guilty. Mom, could you please give Dan a chance to live on no matter how you think me?"

Selena had no clue how to defend herself. She merely hoped that her foster mother would agree to let Dan have the surgery.

Elliot looked coldly at her daughter kneeling on the floor. Now she had no trust at all in her foster daughter and even felt plenty of detestation.

Nevertheless, Dan was her grandson, and what she just said was on impulse. If she really drove Selena and Dan away, she didn't know how to explain it when Jasper returned home.

"I have promised to donate the bone marrow and I will never regret it. But I need to warn you that you must leave with the child as soon as the surgery was finished. I have lost a daughter, I don't want my son to be ruined by you as well. Selena, remember that you were fostered by the Holland family, and

you owe us a great deal. If you have any conscience left, then you shouldn't bother your brother. When your brother along with your father comes back, I hope you can behave normally and I will also shield it from them. Once the surgery is done, I will ask someone to send you and your son abroad. Jasper will marry a girl of his class and has other children. As to this child, I don't want him to become my son's scandal."

Elliot had made up her mind and showed no sign of regret. Selena sank down to the ground. She agreed desperately at last.

"OK. I will leave here along with Dan and never come back as long as he can have the surgery."

Elliot was barely satisfied.

"You can leave now. Remember, once you leak out what happened today to others, I will never forgive you."

Selena walked out of her foster mother's room out of her wits, and she even dared not cry in front of others in case the servants saw her and let out some rumors. Selena had to run to her room and then rushed to the bathroom to wash her body.

With a mix of water and tears on her face, hard to distinguish, Selena felt it's empty in her heart.

She shouldn't have expected too much. If it's not for Dan's disease, she shouldn't have returned.

One should be happy with what he has. Since her foster mother agreed to donate the bone marrow, she must treasure the last period of time, maybe the only time she could be with her brother in her lifetime.

Then, she would leave this place forever.

Later that day, as Jasper and Bailey returned home, Selena had restored her calmness, and Elliot didn't show any difference either.

The family was still sweet and warm, waiting for the time to have the surgery in peace.

In the afternoon, Robert came to the school to pick Wesley up, as he often did recently.

Robert waited outside the classroom for the teacher to dismiss the class. As the bell rang, Wesley dashed out and jumped into his father's arms. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Dad, you come to pick me up again. Where's mom? Is she still unwilling to come to take me? Why is mom living alone outside? Why can't we live together?"

In the recent few days, Sierra had been outside, and as a child, Wesley was surely frustrated every day.

Mom went to the school to see him occasionally, but always with a grieved look, urging him to get along with his father.

Wesley was not a naughty boy, and he had to listen to his mother. Besides, his father explained to him continuously that his mom was simply living outside temporarily and told him not to worry about the adults because they would figure it out by themselves.

So, Wesley could do nothing but discipline himself to go to school every day. Whenever he saw his father, he always asked when to bring his mother home or when could the family get together again.

"Let me take you to see your mom since you must miss her a lot."

With that, a hint of surprise occurred on his face.

"Dad, are we indeed going to see mom?"

"Why do I lie to you on this? Go with me now, and we can talk in the car."

As he finished, he was about to leave with Wesley.

But as the kids in the classroom went out one by one, he happened to see Annie.

Without even a glance at Robert, Annie turned around and walked straight away.

Annie used to like her father before. Later, her father hadn't been together with her mom. Instead, he often drove Wesley to school and collected him after class, hence she got in the sulks, considering her father didn't stand with her mom and her. And now she simply shut her eyes on him.

Robert didn't go up to talk to Annie, for he thought there's something he couldn't do for now. Meanwhile, Wesley questioned his father.

"Dad, Annie must be angry. Recently, she hasn't smiled at me but would get mad at seeing me. I know it's due to dad. Honestly, I want to make friends with Annie and play with her, but whenever I talk to her, she doesn't reply. Dad, actually, I don't hate her anymore."

Amazement came on Robert's face, for he had thought Wesley detested Annie. Then he asked Wesley curiously.

"I have been hoping you two to get along with each other, but have you disliked her all the time?"

"Dad, do you remember I nearly got hurt by a mad man? Annie's mom saved me. In fact, I think Annie is pretty nice, and as a matter of fact, her mother is my savior. Annie hasn't done anything to me. What's more, I really want to have a younger sister. Dad, who is older between Annie and me?"

"Annie is. She is three months your senior. If you become close in the future, you had to be her younger brother."

The expectant look on Wesley's face turned to moodiness. Actually, he wanted to be an older brother, not a younger one.

Having entered the car, the father and son went on chatting.

"Who do you prefer, mom or dad?"

Robert was asking seriously. After all, Sierra was not Wesley's birth mother and would leave him someday. He didn't want to hurt him, so he longed to know how his son was getting along with Sierra.

Wesley answered honestly, even without any hesitation.

He beamed at his father, his eyes gleaming with joy.

"I like dad most."

His answer rendered Robert arrogant. He had thought it would be difficult for Wesley to accept that Sierra was not his birth mother for she had stayed with him all the time.

But now, it seemed that he could convince his son easily, hence he pursued tentatively.

"Dad has a question for you, but you can't tell anyone else, including your mother, about what I said to you today. Can you do it?"

Wesley remembered last time his mother requested him not to leak what happened that day to others, no one excluded. Now his father did it again. He was used to such things so agreed instantly.

"Don't worry, dad. I'm good at keeping secrets. Mom told me something last time and asked me not to let others know. Till now, I haven't talked with anyone else about it."

With that, Robert felt odd. However, since he confirmed his son would keep it confidential, he had to tell him what he had mentioned just now.

"Never mention those questions I just asked you to anyone else. If, I mean if one day, your mom and I can't be together and you have to live with either of dad and mom, just choosing one between us. Can you give me your answer?"
